Kondareddy Srinivas, sub-inspector of police at Keesara police station in the Malkajgiri Commissionerate, was arrested by Telangana's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on 9 November 2026 in a bribery trap case. According to the ACB, he demanded and accepted a bribe of Rs 2 lakh from a complainant. The bureau said the money was recovered from him.
What Happened
In Press Note No. 172, dated 9 November 2026, the ACB said officials of its City Range-2 unit caught the sub-inspector while he accepted the Rs 2 lakh.
According to the ACB, the money was demanded for an official favour: to ensure the quick completion of the investigation and the immediate filing of chargesheets against the complainant, who is an accused in two cases, Crime Nos. 180/2026 and 738/2026, registered at Keesara police station.
The ACB said the bribe amount was recovered from the officer's possession at his instance. The bureau alleged that he abused his official position and performed his public duty improperly and dishonestly to obtain an undue advantage.
The ACB said he was arrested and produced before the I Additional Special Judge for SPE and ACB Cases at Nampally for judicial remand. The case is under investigation, and the bureau said it has withheld the complainant's details for security reasons.
These are allegations, not findings of guilt; the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court, and due process continues.
What It Means
A trap case is one in which the anti-corruption bureau, acting on a complaint, catches an official at the moment a bribe is handed over. The ACB's note says this case is still being investigated.
The ACB asks anyone from whom a public servant demands a bribe to call its toll-free number, 1064. The bureau can also be reached on WhatsApp at 9440446106, and on Facebook and X as Telangana ACB. It says the name and details of the complainant will be kept secret.
